we see recess right outside miss kristi's window!!

wow, miss kristi, how can you even stand knowing that playground equipment is right outside your window and you're INSIDE where there is NO playground equipment???

is it cuz you're a teacher, so you know there is important work to be done before playtime?? that's what bob was trying to tell us. just like he tried to tell us that we had to get our work assignments done before we could go have another latte. and then WE tried to tell HIM that we HAD to have another latte before we COULD get our work assignment done. see what we mean, miss kristi? it's a vicious cycle. is it the same way in kindergarten, miss kristi?

why, who's that INSIDE miss kristi's window??

hoops got a gooood gig as miss kristi's teaching assistant. which makes him very proud. those kindergartners are smart kids, miss kristi, you must be a goooood teacher!

hey kids, do you have a teacher who's lots and lots of fun, like miss kristi? tell us about YOUR teacher and why he or she is so awesome! we're ready to give your teachers some shout-outs!!! you can e-mail us here! hoopsandyoyoblog@hallmark.com

    we were in a parade! it was the snake saturday parade in northtown by kansas city. what a goooood time we had!! take a looky-look at some of our pics!

    bob kept the crowds happy by handing out donuts!!

    once, when yoyo got a little too rowdy on the back of the trailer, bob had to have a "talk" with him. (bob's sooooo tough.)

    and here's a "hoops-eye-view" of the parade!!

      how to make a snowglobe

      making a snowglobe is lots and lots of fun. and we can teach you how to do it in two easy steps. ready? here goes.
      1. get a really awesome artist who can sketch out what you want.
      2. get a really amazing sculptor who can sculpt the sketch the awesome artist made.
      the hardest part was when we had to sit still to be models while the awesome artist drew us on this totally amazing snowglobe. so here it is! this is the snowglobe you'll find for CHRISTMAS this year, and it will ONLY be available here in our fun gifts on hoopsandyoyo.com!!!! this sneak peek is for you cuz you're our favoritest people in the whole wide world!!!

      the sketch...

      a close-up of us in the sculpt...

      the whole sculpt, with bill's hands in the background (bill is our niiiiice boss.)

      what do you think of it so far? you can e-mail us here! hoopsandyoyoblog@hallmark.com
